CHeck all connections at the starter. Check the ground wire going from the battery to engine block. Make sure everything is tight & is corrosion free. Your buddy touched the starter - did he hit with something or just touch it? That's why it sounds like something is loose to me. You can also have a fusible link going bad - no lights usually means no power coming from the fusible link on the starter.
Do a thorough inspection of wiring & check for power on both sides of your fusible links - wiggle wires while checking for power.
Good Luck,
